Plunge (American football)

A "plunge" (or "dive") is a type of play in American Football in which the ball carrier (usually a running back or a fullback) attempts to rush through one of the gaps immediately to the left or right of center, denoted as gaps 1 and 2 respectively. It may be run with or without a lead blocker, though when run with a lead blocker it may be called a "lead dive".
